Bug Description

Apologies if reporting to the wrong package.
Problem appears to be with packaging

When installing xorg:

> apt-get install xserver-xorg

Operation fails with the following errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies
    xserver-xorg: Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-3) but is not going to be installed
                        Depends: xserver-xorg-video-all but it is not going to be installed or
                                       xserver-xorg-video-1.0 or
                                       xserver-xorg-video
                        Depends: xserver-xorg-input-all but it is not going to be installed or
                                       xserver-xorg-input

E: Broken packages

Furthermore, when making a more explicit selection:
>apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core nvidia-glx-new

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  xserver-xorg-core: Conflicts: xserver-xorg-video
E: Broken packages

It appears that xserver-xorg requires xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video, however xserver-xorg Conflicts with xserver-xorg-video

Is there any way around as apt-get upgrade removed all xserver-xorg packages on my laptop.
Trying to install it again gives me the same errors as above.... :

apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-all

Certains paquets ne peuvent être installés. Ceci peut signifier
que vous avez demandé l'impossible, ou bien, si vous utilisez
la distribution unstable, que certains paquets n'ont pas encore
été créés ou ne sont pas sortis d'Incoming.
L'information suivante devrait vous aider à résoudre la situation :
